Truth or Dare

Anna stood under the warm stream of water in the shower, her mind racing with thoughts of Alexander. She had always known he was complicated, but now she understood why. His confession about his bipolar disorder had only made her more determined to be there for him.

After finishing her shower, she dressed in a simple but elegant outfit, wanting to make a good impression. She brushed her hair and teeth, then stepped out of her room feeling refreshed.

She found Alexander waiting for her in the living room, a cup of coffee in his hand. He looked up as she entered and smiled.

"There she is," he said, gesturing for her to sit beside him. "Much better."

She rolled her eyes but joined him on the couch. "You're insufferable, you know that?"

"And yet, you're still here," he teased.
